Emsella
Though urinary incontinence may leave you often searching for the nearest bathroom, Emsella can help you take back control of your confidence.
Emsella uses electromagnetic energy to create thousands of pelvic floor contractions during treatment. Emsella provides similar benefits of performing frequent Kegel exercises. The treatment strengthens and tones the pelvic floor muscles which gives you control over urine flow and helps you hold it until you can find a bathroom.
During your treatment session, you sit on the Emsella chair fully clothed as it delivers electromagnetic energy to your pelvic floor muscles. Most Emsella appointments take 30 minutes to complete.
We typically recommend patients undergo at least 6 treatment sessions (twice a week for three weeks) to achieve optimal strengthening.
These sessions will create a foundation of pelvic floor strength. Afterwards, it is key for you to perform daily Kegel exercises to maintain the pelvic floor musculature that you received from the Emsella treatments. Most of our patients return every 1 to 2 months for maintenance treatments to keep the muscles of the pelvic floor strong and in control.
Emsculpt NEO
After age 65 one in every two women will suffer a fall. Falls often lead to fractures. A fracture after age 65 increases the chance of death by 20% in the year after the fall occurs. These statistics aren’t quite as severe, but are similar for men. In other words, preventing falls is key to long-term health.
The best way to prevent falls is to build and maintain muscle strength. This comes from exercising our muscles and eating sufficient amounts of protein in our daily diet.
The professionals at Shea Aesthetic Clinic can help educate you about the best types of exercise to increase your muscle and core strength and improve your balance. They will also recommend a nutritional plan that will enable you to build and maintain muscle mass.
If a lack of balance and mobility have made you susceptible to falls, Emsculpt NEO can help you regain core strength and stability, both of which will make the likelihood of falls much lower.
Emsculpt NEO uses a combination of radiofrequency (RF) energy to warm the muscles and high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) stimulation to trigger muscle contractions. In just one 30-minute treatment session, Emsculpt NEO creates up to 20,000 muscle contractions in the area we treat—more than what’s possible during a regular gym workout.
If fall prevention in Knoxville is a top priority for you, or a loved one, we recommend using Emsculpt NEO in the following areas:
- Abdomen
- Calves
- Thighs
- Buttocks
Strengthening these sets of muscles with Emsculpt Neo, exercising at home, and getting sufficient protein in your diet will enable you to build the strength needed to keep you from falling. A life without falls and fractures is often a longer, more rewarding life!
Additionally, if you find yourself frequently hurrying to the bathroom because you are trying not to leak urine, you are at risk of falling in the rush to relieve yourself. Please consider receiving Emsella treatments so that you can control your urinary flow again. This will end those races to the restroom which could end up in an unfortunate fall on your way there.
